Our simple yet effective Victorian 9ct Rose Gold Fob Chain, is a beautiful classic piece of jewellery that you should add into your collection today.
Originally referring to the small vest pocket of a gentleman’s outfit in which a watch would be kept, the word ‘fob’ became associated with the watch chain when it became customary to wear watches on a chain. Its meaning evolved from ‘small pocket’ to the chain that held the watch.
Developed around the 1770s, alongside the invention of pocket watches, fobs were worn by both men and women, attached at the waist or to a belt originally.
Fob chains then had a major resurgence in the 1980s and were associated with women of style, elegance and high society. A classic, instantly recognisable design that has stood the test of time, fob chains and fob necklaces evoke character and polish – like a timeless Chanel suit.
